Our Personal Injury Successes

Our client, a passionate and successful musician, and his wife were enjoying the day. As they crossed the street, they were suddenly and violently struck by an SUV. Our client sustained significant injuries from the crash, including a Traumatic Brain Injury. The brain injury has impacted every aspect of his life, from being able to play music professionally to his relationships with his wife and family. The insurance company neglected to see the impact initially, offering $350,000. After filing a lawsuit and intensely advocating for our client’s right to Justice, our clients accepted a $3.5 million settlement.

Our client was an active grandmother who gardened and practiced yoga until she was struck in a T-bone collision by a man pulling out of his driveway.

Avalos v. Britt

A young father of six from O’Fallon, MO was victim to a head-on collision in St. Charles County. He was driving five of his six children home when a driver suffered a medical emergency, colliding into our client’s vehicle. Despite wearing a seatbelt, the force of the impact was so strong the father was thrown from the car. He pronounced dead at the scene, and two of his children suffered injuries. We fought hard for his widow and children, ultimately securing a multimillion-dollar settlement for the family.

Our client was rear-ended on the way to work on I-270. He fired his original lawyer and came to us two weeks later and looking for help. We recognized his injuries on his MRI and predicted he would need some sort of neck treatment to help him. He ended up getting a disc replaced in his cervical spine. We put together a life care plan based on his medical needs and records to show the future cost of the care he would need.

Our client, a father of 5 at the time, was rear-ended driving home from work on I-64. He lost consciousness for a bit and had little memory of the actual crash. He suffered a torn rotator cuff which required surgery. We used our knowledge and expertise to help him identify his brain injury (which was missed at the ER) and get the treatment he needed to help his pituitary dysfunction from the crash. We hired an expert to put together a life care plan based on his medical needs.
